Woke up to hear Melbourne literally shook just 20minutes to midnight. 
All ok here. 
Epicentre is 100km away from me, and me who dozed off just before 1130pm was sleeping like a baby. Either I slept through an earthquake or we didn't feel it further South 
Victorians, there's possible aftershakes... let's educate ourselves on what to do during an earthquake/aftershock.
Here you go, from SES Victoria:

"Victoria's State Emergency Service has urged residents to prepare for potential aftershocks.
In the event of a severe aftershock, you should drop to the ground, take cover by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture and hold on until the shaking stops."
"He said it was potentially the largest earthquake in more than 100 years within the Melbourne metropolitan area."
"The crowdsourcing site Earthquake Network recorded dozens of reports of people who felt the quake within a radius of 48km.
"Yep. We felt it too," the Victoria State Emergency Service posted on Twitter.
Earthquakes are relatively rare in Australia, particularly any that are felt or cause significant damage.
In September 2021, a 5.9-magnitude quake hit near Mansfield, 180km north-east of Melbourne, with tremors lasting between 30 and 40 seconds."
P.S: That 2021 earthquake woke me up from deep sleep wondering who is shaking my bed!藍
